Footage of the match on the news showed one of the explosions going off 16 minutes into the match, it's reported that one of them detonated it after being refused entry to the stadium.

How come the match was played to the end and not suspended as soon as word spread what had happened?

Maybe they were unsure as to what was happening.
Stopping the match mid game would have caused panic.
It is in "terrorism for teenagers"

that you let off a bomb in place X and another one where you think all the crowd will collect and gawk ... and cause secondary damage

standard IRA operating policy

all the Brit pit-bosses ( floor mgrs ) in the twin towers had nil mortality as after the first plane they sent the work force home - and also I dont think there were many pit bosses who were Brits to be honest

Hollande was also planning a lock down so there is no point in abandoning a game and turning them out onto the street .....

Thanks Baldric, I would've thought word might have spread by half time though and the game called off then
Am I missing something in the link provided by Balders?

How would they explain the situation to the crowd?

Announcing that a suicide bomber had blown himself outside the ground and there may be others inside the stadium would not be the greatest of ideas.
I imagine there was furiuos debate how best to handle the situation.

Peter, I doubt ISIS operate like the IRA and have a chap hanging around ready to blow himself up when the crowds 'gawk'
Not sure panky smooth
not met either ( TG )
PP....Stop comparing this to the IRA.
umm Bang ! Bang !
they let off bombs

bang! bang ! bang ! they let off shooters

dead people

these are three similarities which allow me to compare them

how do they differ ? the bearded ones say with essex accents - we are not fecking Oirish ? or is it something else ?
Peter ... why do you convolute everything you post?

Raving mad!
/the bearded ones say with essex accents/

I used to live in Essex, don't confuse an Essex accent with a estuary/ EastLondon accent.
